Description from the seller
Ghana
Ewé
Wood and pearls
Height: 215mm + 180mm + 220mm
Width: 85mm + 80mm + 55mm
Depth: 45mm + 50mm + 52mm
Left statue: missing left arm.
Statue in the center: previous damage caused by wood-boring insects.
Right statue: cracks on the stomach and the right side of the face.
Set of 3 fertility statues/dolls, the Ewé revered twins.
Contrary to what many collectors or experts believe, twin statuettes do not function as a pair like ancestor statuettes. Each should be understood individually in terms of its significance.
On the east coast of the Gulf of Benin, a birth is a happy event that occurs within the context that links life to death. Belief in reincarnation remains strong.
Fast and secure shipping. Packages are sent with insurance and tracking number.
Delivery via Chronopost within 1 to 3 days in France, 2 to 5 days within the European Union. Delivery to the rest of Europe, worldwide, and islands with Colissimo International.
We speak English.
